I’m not missing the ball thank you very much.

But you are obviously my point because you just restated everything i was talking about.

I couldn’t agree with you more

I’m not sure how to respond to this.

Reply was where it was intended.

Im clearly (to me anyway) responding to the conversation about outcomes and intents you quoted, but was reply to the conversation between you and the other person. Was trying to offer more support to your position since neither of you mentioned the facet i brought up. I may have rambled a bit but re reading it im not sure why you responded the way you did.

Im not that invested in this though so im just going leave it as i was agreeing with you, intent is a useful tool to use in any incident of judgment. Not one that needs to be used in the judgement, but needs to be considered before judgment

When you are calling these fucking assholes weirdos, do you realize how fucking many kids have had to live through that stigma being slung at them unfairly and hurtfully?

Do you know why one of the worlds most loved and celebrated humans calls himself Weird Al Yankovich?

Yes im venting im sorry but this new tactic against the enemies of humanity is going to cause damage to people who are already and always have been vulnerable.

Shame on everyone who is jumping on this band wagon with absolutely no understanding of the consequences you are having.

I hope you can live with yourself for being part of the reason kids feel like they need to take a gun, go to school, and start shooting their bullies. While thats not the motivation of all these school shootings it was very much a big part of Columbine happening.

So go ahead and keep doing harm to a small group of people you didnt give enough thought to before you propagate this moniker for people are some of the worst people in history

Furthermore if outcomes are what gets punished, then what happens if people get hurt because you said something provably true? Poeple aren’t rational at the worst of times.

Untrue does not automatically mean its a lie. For an untruth to be a lie it also must intend to deceive.

All lies are untrue but all untruths are not lies in the same way all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

But even untruths that intend to deceive aren’t automatically lies, could be a joke though it’s probably debatable with regards to joking. But then that’s exactly why intent must be determined when considering the totality of any situation/incident

Something can be done for amusement that isn’t a joke. And we all should be aware of the nature of Trolls at this point online
